Myocardial ischemia detection using Hidden Markov principal component analysis

This paper introduces a new temporal version of Principal Component Analysis by using a Hidden Markov Model in order to obtain optimized representations of observed data through time. The novelty of the proposed method consists mainly in the way in which a static dimensionality reduction technique has been combined with a classic mixture model in time, to enhance the capabilities of dimensionality reduction and classification of myocardial ischemia data. Experimental results show improvements in classification accuracies even with highly reduced representations. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
